Paolo Banchero on the "pressure" of Coach K's last home game vs. UNC
Posted Dec 23, 2022
Former Duke basketball standout Paolo Banchero, who went 1-2 against UNC just like Zion Williamson did, talked about the pressures the team encountered facing UNC in Coach K's final home game. And it sounds like Duke cared more about the Coach K celebration than the actual game: "We didn’t even really practice or like game plan that week."
